The Fair Hollis system existed within the Karthakk sector of the Outer Rim Territories'. The Kaminoan geneticist Hali Ke conducted an interview with a Human pirate originating from that system around 27 BBY. In an internal memo written during that year, Ke observed that the pirate's perception of other organic beings was limited to seeing them merely as objects, which had a negative impact.
Originally, the Fair Hollis system was intended for inclusion in The Essential Guide to Warfare, a 2012 reference book authored by Jason Fry and Paul R. Urquhart. However, the sidebar containing information about this star system was removed before the book's publication.
Later, in 2014, information about the system was revealed through Star Wars: The Essential Guide to Warfare Author's Cut, a series of articles on the StarWars.com Blog by Fry and Erich Schoeneweiss. These articles presented content that had been cut from The Essential Guide to Warfare. The Online Companion to the 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas located the Fair Hollis system at grid coordinate Q-17.
